Family Trip55

Just spent 2 nights here and the landlord and landlady were great hosts!

My two small boys and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only problem was the choice of meal for my 9 year old, who is a vegetarian. I understand that 9 year old vegetarians are probably not regular clients of yours, but please could there be more flexibility with the menu? I asked if an omelette could be made for him and the answer from the waitress was no! Surely that shouldn\'t be a problem. Regardless of this, I do hope to return one day to this lovely place.

1 Night Stay35

Very good value for money. Food was good, both evening meal and breakfast. Staff friendly and helpful. Some aspects of the accommodation are quite tired and need an update/refresh. The room was v hot though in their defence, it was a hot day. If you want basic cheap accommodation, this place should fit the bill. If you want pampered luxury then probably not.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and I will pass on your comments to our staff. We are currently undergoing a refurbishment program in all areas of the B&B, campsite and grounds to bring it up to date. We hope you will consider us again if you are in this beautiful part of North Wales again. Kind regards Tracey & Harry

We\'d Stay Again!45

I stayed for one night with my wife, 14 yr old and 2 small dogs. Everyone there is really friendly and they are always wiling to help. The B&B room was clean and comfortable (if a little small, especially the bathroom). The food was good and my family and dogs had a good time either sitting by the fire or playing games.

Hidden Gem - Part 2.55

I stayed at Y Giler Arms 4 years ago, and it was great. The standard has only improved over the years, and it\'s now fantastic. The new owners have enhanced the experience with even better accommodation, drinks and food. Definitely to be recommended.

Family Room With Dog35

We stayed in a very small room, 2 single beds, and a bunk bed. Just enough space to fit in our travel cot for the baby and a space to fit the dog bed in by the bunkbeds( big dog!). The TV didn\'t work and was tiny. Outside the room was a lethal staircase with no guard , I was really worried the kids would fall down it. The bathrrom was shared with a shower, so couldn\'t bath the baby! The shower room is in desperate need of doing up, cracks everywhere and very under finished. Very noisy people in the pub below until midnight. The breakfast was nice and the staff were friendly. It\'s hard to expect much for £100 / night but we stayed at the premier inn the night before for. £65 and it was much better. Maybe visit them and take some tips! Need to look at safety as those stairs may end up in you getting sued . I had to fill the kettle up in the shared bathroom which was abit odd . A sink in the room would be far better or an ensuite.

Response from Hotel

This is a very hard review to respond to as its very contradictory. The staff appreciate acknowledgement for their continued hard work and have passed on your comments. The room you had sleeps 4 comfortably and is not a very small room. Accommodating a travel cot and a very large dog (which incidentally we knew nothing about, nor was paid for) would encroach on space 4 people would normally have. Children\'s stair guards are not normally found in pub B&Bs. This is not a home, but an old traditional country pub and bathrooms are not always possible to install in all rooms, nor is the control of noise in a pub. I would suggest in future you research your accommodation needs before booking old traditional country pubs and maybe stick to purpose built Premier Inns.

Giler Arms55

14 of us went for an evening at the Giler Arms over the bank holiday and we all had a great time.

The evening meals were all excellent and reasonably priced and the new owners very hospitable and keen to please.

Views from the rooms and restaurant were amazing and would recommend this stay.

We would have no hesitation in going back.

Thank you to the owners and see you again soon

Anniversary Party35

Staff very friendly and food superb. Good honest fare, well presented and generous. We brought a party cake and they were more than happy to lend us plates etc. to serve it. Location idyllic, quiet and serene. Ideal for camping or B&B. My only complaint was that the bed was way too hard for me, but fortunately it was only for 1 night. Overall, good value.

Friendly And Stylish55

We booked a Single En-Suite Room + Fold Out Bed as it was the only en-suite option left and although I was a little worried about this I couldn't have been more delighted. The room was more than adequate and tastefully decorated. The beds were very comfortable with lovely clean bedding. Nice touch with the extra drinks supplies and Honey the dog enjoyed her biscuits from Marc. Dinner was excellent despite the restaurant and bar being very busy. No quibbles at all.

Bathams Weekend45

Nice peacful location and handy for visits to Snowdonia, Bala and Barmout.

Great, food and beer and the breakfast was fantastic (cereals, full english, juice, coffee tea - all included in the price) and cooked by Mark the host who was very attentive and welcoming and seemed to do almost everything. Rooms are basic but comfortable and clean and fresh bed linen. All in all very good low priced accomodation. Thank you Mark for your kind hospitality and well done for all your hard work.

Very Friendly45

The Giler Arms was a good place to stay overnight. The dog was allowed to stay and teh owner was very friendly and welcoming. The pub had a good choice of food and drink at a reasonable cost. The room was basic and in need of some modernisation, but it didn't really bother us. Set in a pretty albeit remote location.

Two Night Stay45

On arrival at the hotel we were greeted very warmly by the manager Mark. In fact, throughout our stay, he made us feel very welcome indeed. Our room was adequate with s comfortable bed. Lovely biscuits and hot chocolate sachets were supplied, in addition to the standard tea/coffee, which was a nice touch. The Batham's beer was excellent. Breakfasts were freshly cooked and plentiful with a good choice of items available. The evening meals were standard "pub grub", but tasty and portions were generous. The hotel looks out onto a small lake and is in a picturesque setting. This appears to be the only place in the vicinity selling real ale, so a real beer "oasis"! All in all, a very relaxing couple of days and if in the area again we would certainly consider staying here for a second time.

A friendly pub in a quiet, rural location close to the A5. I stayed for 6 nights in a a compact,well furnished and comfortable single room. I didn't sample breakfast but was provided with a substantial take away substitute which was more than adequate. Dinner is not served in-house on Mondays but otherwise was good wholesome pub food. Overall the Giler Arms provided good accomodation and value for money in a peaceful and attractive location.

Regarded as one of the most picturesque course in Wales with the magnificent backdrop of Gwrych Castle, The delightful 18 hole Parkland Course boast many enviable features. The course was established in its present position in 1968 to the historic grounds of Gwyrch Castle with magnificent coastal views. Abergele Golf Club has maintained its reputation by ensuring that innovative enhancements are made at every opportunity. This is clearly highlighted by the completion of a huge project which say construction of new greens to the latest USGA standards by course architect David Williams of Golf Design and reconstruction work supervised by G. Shiels & Associates.

At the heart of Medieval Conwy stands Plas Mawr, the "Great Hall", built between 1576 and 1585 for the Welsh merchant, Robert Wynn. This richly decorated building is an architectural gem, possibly the best preserved Elizabethan townhouse in Great Britain. It dominates the town of Conwy with its gatehouse, stepped gables and lookout tower. This "worthy plentiful house" is especially noted for the quality and quantity of its ornamental plasterwork, now fully restored to its original splendour. Plas Mawr's authentic period atmosphere is further enhanced by furnishings, many original to the house, based on an inventory of the contents in 1665.The interior with its elaborately decorated plaster ceilings and fine wooden screens, reflects the wealth and influence of the Tudor gentry in Wales.
